2.
Hydrometers
Hydrometers  (Fig.    8)  are  used  to  test  the  freezing
protection  of  an  antifreeze  solution  and  work  on  the
principle  of  specific  gravity  or  weight  of  the  antifreeze
solution.  They are simple to use if used in the proper
manner.      When   using   the   hydrometer,   the   solution
must   be   at   least   44   degs.      C   (110   degs.      F),   the
temperature and level must be noted correctly and the
float   must   be   able   to   move   freely.      Read   only   the
hydrometer  scale  corresponding  to  the  type  antifreeze
solution in the radiator.  Keep hydrometer clean inside
and  out  and  treat  it  with  the  same  care  as  given  any
other precision instrument.
3.
SE-2384 Pressure Tester
This  tester  (Fig.    9)  consists  of  a  heavy  duty  pump
complete with adapters for remotely applying pressure
to   the   cooling   system   at   the   radiator   fill   neck.   The
pump   is   equipped   with   a   pressure   gauge,   manual
pressure  relief  valve  and  hose  assembly  with  twist-on
clamp  bracket  to  receive  the  adapters.    The  adapters
can  be  quickly  attached  together  for  a  small  or  large
filler neck either with a shallow or deep neck.
4.
SE-2395 Antifreeze and Battery Tester
This tester (Fig.  10) is designed for quick and accurate
checking  of  antifreeze  protection  and  battery  specific
gravity readings.  Coolant may be checked hot or cold
with   a   minimum   amount   of   coolant   or   battery   acid
required.  Operating instructions are included with the
tester.
